- the present disclosure relates to various embodiments of hand/or instrument access surgical site seal covers or plugs that enable sealed access to a surgical site with either a surgeon's hand and/or one or more instruments.
- a surgical site may include an opening or incision in a patient or a natural orifice through which a surgical procedure may be performed.
- FIGS. 1-4 illustrate an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
- the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug may be mounted to a housing, such as a wound retractor or a separate stiffening ring used in combination with a wound refractor.
- the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A includes a seal body 100 defining a central longitudinal axis “k” and a central seal passage or opening 130 in general longitudinal alignment with the central longitudinal axis “k”.
- the seal body 100 has a first top (e.g., proximal) side or surface 105 and an opposed second bottom (e.g., distal) side or surface 107 .
- the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 has a plurality of first grooves or channels 110 disposed on the top surface 105 and a plurality of second grooves or channels 120 disposed on the bottom surface 107 .
- the first and second channels 110 , 120 do not extend fully through the seal body 100 but rather extend partially from therethrough.
- the plurality of second channels 120 are more clearly depicted in FIG. 3 , which is a bottom view of the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A.
- the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A is illustrated as being flat, although it may have a domed or other suitable shape. A plurality of different materials may be used to form or construct the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A, as discussed below in further detail.
- Each of the first and second channels 110 , 120 may be generally V-shaped, as best depicted in FIG. 2 , or U-shaped, having a first width or dimension 140 at or near the exterior surface of the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug, the first width or dimension 140 gradually decreasing toward the interior of the seal body 100 and terminating at a bottom surface 121 .
- the first and second channels 110 , 120 may be substantially identical in their respective cross-sectional shapes or dimensions, or, in the alternative, may have different cross-sectional shapes or dimensions. Referring to the embodiment shown herein, the V-shape of the second channels 120 is inverted relative to the V-shape of the first channel 110 due to their arrangement on the opposite side of surface of the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A.
- the top surface 105 has ten channels (see FIG. 1 ) and the bottom surface 107 also has 10 channels (see FIG. 3 ).
- any number of channels may be located on either the top or bottom surfaces 105 , 107 , such as, for example, 5 through 20 channels per side.
- the first and second channels 110 , 120 do not extend fully to the outer perimeter of the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A (or along the entire radius of the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A). Instead, the first and second channels 110 , 120 extend about 3 ⁇ 4 of the radius of the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A.
- the first and second channels 110 , 120 each extend radially outwardly relative to the longitudinal axis “k”, and may or may not be coterminous with the central seal passage 130 .
- the first and second channels 110 , 120 form star-shaped configurations on the top surface 105 and the bottom surface 107 , respectively.
- the plurality of first channels 110 are arranged in a circumferential manner and the plurality of second channels 120 are also arranged in a circumferential manner.
- the plurality of first channels 110 may form a first pattern on the top surface 105 and the plurality of second channels 120 may form a second pattern on the bottom surface 107 .
- the first and second patterns are similar.
- Adjacent first channels 110 are separated by wedge segments 109 of the seal body 100 ( FIG. 1 ) and adjacent second channels 120 are separated by wedge segments 111 of the seal body 100 ( FIG. 3 ).
- This arrangement of alternating channels and wedge segments, offset on opposite sides of the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A provides an undulating or corrugated structure in cross-section so as to form pleats, such structure increasing the structural integrity of the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A while enabling the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A to accommodate stretching and deformation during passage of an instrument or a clinician's hand and arm.
- the first channels 110 are equidistantly spaced relative to each other at a first predefined angular displacement “A” and the second channels 120 are equidistantly spaced relative to each other at a second predefined angular displacement “B.”
- the first and second predefined angular displacements “A”, “B” may be substantially equal.
- the angular displacement “A”, “B” is about 36 degrees.
- the first and second channels 110 , 120 may have varying angular displacements.
- the first and second channels 110 , 120 are each straight in the embodiments shown and described herein, in still other embodiments, the first and second channels 110 , 120 may define a shape other than straight, e.g., curved, angled, etc.
- the first and second channels 110 , 120 may be angularly offset or displaced with respect to each other.
- the second channels 120 are depicted in phantom.
- the second channels 120 are angularly offset to bisect adjacent first channels 110 , e.g., the second channels 120 are arranged along the midline separating adjacent first channels 110 , e.g., along the midline of the wedge segment 109 .
- the first channels 110 are angularly offset to bisect adjacent second channels 120 , e.g., the first channels 110 are arranged along the midline separating adjacent second channels 120 , e.g., along the midline of the wedge segment 111 .
- This arrangement adds to the structural integrity of the seal body 100 by ensuring that the thickness beneath each of the first channels 110 and above each of the second channels 120 is sufficient to withstand stretching of the seal body during passage of the arm or hand of the clinician without the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A inadvertently tearing.
- opening 130 is shown adjacent the center of top surface 105 .
- the opening 130 is configured to receive a hand and/or arm of a user (e.g., a surgeon).
- FIG. 1 illustrates a plurality of additional openings 150 (although any number of such openings, e.g., one or more, may be employed).
- Openings 150 are located on the top surface of the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A and advantageously are positioned such that their uppermost portion (the portion that is co-planar with the top surface of the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A) is located in a respective wedge section of the top surface, and such that their lowermost portion (the portion that is co-planar with the bottom surface of the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A) is located in a respective channel 120 of the bottom surface.
- the openings 150 taper from the top surface of the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A to the bottom surface of the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A.
- the openings 150 have a relatively large diameter at the top surface, allowing a surgeon to easily locate and place an instrument therethrough, and a relatively small diameter at the bottom surface, providing for an improved seal.
- the openings 150 may, in a rest position of the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A, be open.
- the openings 150 may, in a rest position of the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A, be closed so as to provide a zero seal when an instrument is not present therethrough.
- the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A may be molded such that the material that forms the lowermost portion of the openings 150 forms a thin barrier that prevents passage of insufflation gases, the thin barrier being puncturable by an instrument inserted therethrough.
- the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A may be molded such that the material that forms the lowermost portion of the openings 150 has a pre-formed hole or slit therethrough, the hole or slit being pressed closed during use so as to prevent passage of insufflation gases. Any number of openings 150 may be employed, so as to enable simultaneous sealed access of both a hand/arm (through the opening 130 ) and an instrument (through the openings 150 ).
- the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A may be constructed of rigid materials or alternatively made from a disposable, pliable, compressible, and/or flexible type material, for example, but not limited to, a suitable foam material having sufficient compliance to form a seal about one or more surgical objects.
- the foam may be at least partially constituted of polyisoprene, urethane, or silicone, or the like.
- the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A may be formed of a medical grade plastic or medical grade foam or, e.g., latex, silicone rubber, Mylar®, polyethylene, polyurethane, a flexible polymeric material, or a composite material, such as a polyethylene and nylon composite, or any other resilient material suitable for the intended purpose of permitting insertion and manipulation, e.g., off-axis manipulation, of a surgical instrument or clinician's hand.
- FIG. 5 illustrates a top view of a laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 200 , according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
- the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 200 is generally similar to the seal 100 described with reference to FIGS. 1-4 , except that the plurality of first channels 210 and the plurality of second channels 220 are twelve in number.
- the first channels 210 may be angularly displaced at an angle “C” of about 30 degrees.
- the second channels 120 may be angularly displaced at an angle “D” of about 30 degrees.
- Other symmetrical and non-symmetrical arrangements are envisioned as well.
- first and second channels 210 , 220 are radially offset with respect to each other, e.g., when viewing the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 200 in plan view, to bisect adjacent first and second channels 210 , 220 as discussed hereinabove.
- the first and second channels 210 , 220 may each define cross-sectional dimensions that differ at varying depths thereof.
- the first and second channels 210 , 220 each define a first, relatively wider V-shaped segment 212 adjacent the respective top and bottom surfaces of the seal 200 and a second, relatively narrower segment 215 extending therefrom farther into the interior of the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 200 so as to provide still further flexibility of the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A.
- the second, relatively narrower segment 215 may, in a rest position of the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 200 , be slightly V-shaped or may be closed and converge to bottom 216 .
- FIG. 7 illustrates a top perspective view of a laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 300 A, according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
- the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 300 A is similar to the embodiments previously described hereinabove—however, in this embodiment, the channels 310 define a slight taper or elongate V-shape, e.g., almost substantially linear in configuration, and terminating at an apex 315 such that, in a rest position, they are nearly closed (the channels, in other embodiments, may be completely closed, e.g., the opposing side walls that define the channels may touch each other when the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 300 A is in a rest position). These different channel configurations may further increase the flexibility and structural integrity of the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 300 A.
- FIGS. 9-10 illustrate an arm 410 extending through the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug, e.g., the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 200 A of FIGS. 5-6 having the opening 230 .
- FIG. 9 depicts the fingers and palm of a hand of the clinician initially introduced within the opening 230 .
- the opening 230 stretches in, e.g., an accordion-like manner as facilitated by the pleated configuration provided by the first and second channels 210 , 220 .
- the channels 210 , 220 expand to accommodate passage of the hand, and may also contract once the hand passes through the seal opening 230 to maintain the seal about the arm.
- FIG. 10 illustrates the seal opening 230 expanded to accommodate the arm of the clinician.
- FIGS. 9-10 further illustrate schematically a housing 450 , which may be a wound retractor or a wound retractor in combination with a proximal stiffening ring. It is contemplated that the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 100 A is selectively attachable/detachable to a housing 450 in order to form a hand or instrument access assembly.
- the seal 200 deforms in an accordion-like manner.
- the deformation may be an expansion/contraction of the individual channels 210 , 220 as various portions of the arm 410 are inserted through the opening 230 of the seal 200 .
- the expansion/contraction action occurs to the first surface 218 of each channel 110 .
- the width of each channel 210 is expanded to accommodate the arm 410 .
- the channels 110 on the top surface 205 expand and/or flex in order to enable the central opening to more easily accommodate the hand 420 and maintain a secure sealing relationship between the hand 420 and the opening 230 .
- the channels 220 on the bottom surface 207 may likewise expand and/or flex when the hand 420 is accommodated in the opening 230 .
- the off-centered or offset relationship between the plurality of first channels 210 and the plurality of second channels 220 allows for the creation of an accordion-like deformation 440 of the seal 200 as an object (e.g., an arm 410 ) is inserted through the opening 230 .
- FIGS. 11-12 illustrate such accordion-like deformation 440 .
- FIG. 11 is a top view 500 A of the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 200 in a closed, rest configuration.
- FIG. 12 is a top view 500 B of the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug 200 in a biased configuration.
- Each of the plurality of channels 210 is deformed to a biased or expanded condition due to the insertion of an object (e.g., an arm 410 , not shown) in opening 230 .
- This deformation 440 is characterized as an accordion-like deformation due to the expansion/contraction of channels 210 , 220 .
- This pleated or undulating cross-sectional arrangement may incorporate any number of channels on the top and bottom surfaces of the seal to create a plurality of different patterns thereon.
- the probability of tearing the seal is reduced and the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug has improved flexibility to accommodate passage and movement of an instrument and/or hand/arm.
- the laparoscopic sealing cover or plug may be mounted to a housing, such as a wound retractor or a separate stiffening ring used in combination with a wound retractor.
- FIG. 13 is a side partial cross-sectional view of a wound retractor having a stiffening ring to which the laparoscopic sealing covers or plugs may be mounted, according to various embodiments of the present invention. For example, FIG.
- FIG. 13 illustrates a wound retractor 500 that includes a distal ring 502 for positioning through an incision for placement inside a body wall and against an interior surface of a body wall, a proximal ring 503 for positioning outside of the body wall and a flexible sleeve 501 connecting the distal and proximal rings 502 , 503 , the sleeve 501 configured to be rolled around the proximal ring 503 so as to shorten the length of the sleeve 501 and thereby generate a refraction force to retract the incision.
- FIG. 13 also illustrates a stiffening ring 600 that assists with maintaining the proximal ring 503 in a circular shape.
- the laparoscopic sealing covers or plugs may be selectively mounted directly to the stiffening ring 600 so as to be attached and/or detached as desired by the user.
- the seal body may engage, e.g., by friction-fit or any other method of engagement, a radial inward-facing surface 602 of the stiffening ring 600 such that a compression force creates a seal between the stiffening ring 600 and the seal body.
- the seal body may engage, e.g., by friction-fit or any other method of engagement, an upper flange 601 of the stiffening ring 600 such that a seal between the stiffening ring 600 and the seal body is created at this location.
